Then again, the current U.S. administration has a frightening disregard for the rule of law....

The aiding and abetting angle depends on whether you affiliate with a casino and accrue revenue off a referred players losses. Or whether you just accept paid advertising.
I have been told that affiliation and the linking to those casinos which still accept US Players, could be seen as aiding and abetting as a result of the UIGEA.
As such I have no plans at all to fly west of Ireland until such time online gambling regulation and not prohibition is in place in the United States.
Michael in his speech on the opening morning of Cap Euro, also stated he believes it will get much worse. I am inclined to agree with him. I am not scaremongering, I am just unfortunately appraising the entire situation, from the information I have read and obtained from talking to people including those in the legal profession.
